Things to do in Paris, Ile-de-France: The Best Bridges
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

This bridge, depicted in a famous painting by Renoir, is the oldest remaining bridge in Paris.

According to my understanding of French, it is both the New Bridge (as in unused) and the Nine Bridge. Either way, it is a nice structure to cross on foot (includes the western end of the Ile de la Cite) and also an impressive structure to pass under (which I did three or four times on the amazing Batobus. When one goes under this bridge, one can see and photograph (as I did), the massive letter N on the sides.

Pont du Carrousel is a nice bridge, built in the 19th century, with some history behind it. It joins two sides of the Seine, leading to Place du Carrousel, right outside the Louvre Museum. It is not a very ornate bridge but there are some interesting features at either end of it. Worth a walk.

Passerelle Leopold-Sedar-Senghor is a lovely footbridge over the River Seine. We have walked over it a number of times and so have countless other visitors. It is also a sort of romantic bridge as many couples love to attach padlocks on it. This may have originally been a unique idea but over time the weight of the padlocks has affected the bridge as it has other bridges. Be that as it may walking on the bridge is a terrific way to spend a few minutes taking in the stunning views of the surrounding area.

Built in the mid-1800's, Pont au Change is a lovely bridge with a bit of history. It connects two sides of the Seine. The one side is the area around the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, and the opposite side is near the Place du Châtelet. We loved walking over this bridge and the views from it are beautiful.

Enjoyed my stroll across the bridge and gazing at the love locks attached to the pole. You buy a lock and write your first name on one side of the lock and your significant other on the other side of lock, attach to pole, lock it, and throw key into Seine River..How romantic is that❤
